Question:

Firefighters’ use of gas detection devices. Two deadly gases that can be present in fire smoke are hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide. Fire Engineering (March 2013) reported the results of a survey of 244 firefighters conducted by the Fire Smoke Coalition. The purpose of the survey was to assess the base level of knowledge of firefighters regarding the use of gas detection devices at the scene of a fire. The survey revealed the following: Eighty percent of firefighters had no standard operating procedures (SOP) for detecting/monitoring hydrogen cyanide in fire smoke; 49% had no SOP for detecting/monitoring carbon monoxide in fire smoke. Assume that 94% of firefighters had no SOP for detecting either hydrogen cyanide or carbon monoxide in fire smoke. What is the probability that a firefighter has no SOP for detecting hydrogen cyanide and no SOP for detecting carbon monoxide in fire smoke?
